RE: [OT] Mini Pictures

Battletech also suffered from an in-game arms race. If you did not have
mechs with the lastest technology, you were MUCH less effective. 

One of the nice things about FT, so far, is that new systems are fairly
balanced with older systems. Thus the ship you had 2 years ago can still
compete with newer ships. And, thus far, you can still keep the weapons
ranges in your head (6, 12, or 9mu range bands [if you use the proposed
balancing option for Sa'Vasku).
